Abstract
A composition and method of absorbing animal dross. Discrete particles of a composition comprising a water-swellable bentonite clay absorb animal dross and related liquids, and simultaneously agglomerate into a sufficiently large and stable mass therefore permitting physical separation and removal of the wetted mass of particles from unwetted particles of the composition. Removing the wetted and agglomerated composition particles from the remaining unwetted composition reduces or eliminates offensive odors produced by dross-soaked particles.
